It's “That Guy… Who Was in That Thing” meets "WTF" but with people even less well known! Sure it's fun to interview the crazy famous and ask them about the difficult years, but that's been done. Memories are plastic - we're getting the real dirt from people still crawling through it. Laura Scruggs is the playwright and Jake Scruggs is the technical guy who listens to a lot of “This American Life” and thinks that qualifies him to interview people.

0:24:47 Things are slow for Bryn, he's tearing his hair out, but he may have a project that he can do completely by himself. Will he deliver?

0:27:45 Bryn also shot some inserts playing an expert on a mystery project that will air on a new network (he's being cagey about what because he doesn't want to get into trouble).

0:30:33 The NatGeo show "Brain Games" is now on Netflix- but it doesn't look like Bryn's two episodes are actually there, yet.

0:31:33 Laura started the #100DaysMoMA project with household object puppet shows. Check out her Twitter feed @LaLeezyScreezy to witness her work.
